I just heard one of the signature song arcs of the whole concept: "Cold Shot" - "Cold Sweat, Pt I" - "Come As You Are".
I recall this every year because it must have been 9 yrs ago* that they did this for the first time, and I called Annalisa to request something (that I've long since forgotten). She asked me why I liked A-Z so much and I commented about going from James Brown into Nirvana. And then within less than 20 min they aired a self-promotion bit with Fogheads gushing about A-Z, and it included my comment. And they played that repeatedly over the course of the event, and even the next year, when this group was active. Some of you old timers may recall this.
I bring this up also to note that every year they have hit this stretch during Annalisa's shift on Day 2, so I think they haven't really truncated it that much, despite what Benson seemed to imply last week.
*for some reason this conversation is etched in my memory. It was the first time I called KFOG & I remember I was sitting at my desk at Kaplan, where I only worked for a year, so it must have been early 2000. By June I was working at eFORCE, and not long after brought Gaz in for some part-time work, which was when he introduced me to the 10@10 Club.
